Stars only gets better the more you read it! "Stars are everywhere. Not just in the sky."
What can you do with a star?
Where can you find a star?
When can you see a star?
Who is a star?
What is a star?
Why does the sky have stars?
"A star is how you know it is almost night." And, it makes the night not so dark. And you need it dark to see stars in the night sky.
A star is not a rock: it can make you a sheriff, it can become a wand. Some stars are people. Yellow stars become pumpkins while white ones grow into strawberries or fall from the sky during winter or are blown away from dandelions by the wind. And lots of colored stars shoot up into the sky - on the Fourth of July.
Who is Mary Lyn Ray?
Author Mary Lyn Ray, a southerner transplanted to New England, is the much-beloved children's author of Goodnight, Good Dog
(but she didn't have a dog growing up), and A Lucky Author Has A Dog,
and Boom!
and others that we want to read, like Mud.
Although Stars is not our first choice in Mary Lyn Ray books, it is climbing up.
Can you keep a star in your pocket?
YES! You can even make a star to keep in your pocket.
Caveat: We checked this book out of our county public library, along with other wonderful Mary Lyn Ray books.
